Best Time To Visit
Lava caving in Iceland is available year-round. However, the best time for your Icelandic lava caving trip is in July and August. These two months see the warmest temperatures, the least amount of rain, and the most daylight. However, if you’d like to see the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, then come February to March or September to October, especially during the equinoxes. Winter is understandably frigid; but, it is also the best time to see some impressive ice formations while lava caving in Iceland. So, bring your thermals and a sense of humor!

Getting There
Almost everyone planning an Icelandic lava caving tour flies into Reykjavík-Keflavík International Airport. If you’ve made it that far, you don’t have to worry about getting to the lava caves. Only highly experienced lava cavers venture out on their own. You, however, will almost certainly participate in a guided tour. And, nearly every lava caving tour in Iceland includes hotel pickup and drop-off. So, sit back, relax, and watch your tour guide dig through the ice and snow to find the entrance to the lava caves.

Money Saving Tips
Predictably, lava caving involves squeezing through some tight spaces and walking while bent at the waist. People who are very tall, overweight, or suffering from back issues may wish to stay back and let the rest of the group go ahead. This is also true for claustrophobics. But, that’s ok! There are plenty of amazing activities in Iceland that aren’t as demanding as lava caving!

Did you know?
Act like a professor of speleology by recounting some Icelandic lava caving facts.

Approximately one mile in length, Surtshellir is the longest cave in Iceland.

What do you call a lava formation that looks like an icicle? A lavacicle.

The largest section of the Víðgelmir lava tube is 15.8 meters high and 16.5 meters wide, making it the largest such cave in the country.

Lave caves often exhibit steps on either side. These steps mark the height at which lava flowed during different periods of time.
